Carbon8, Sydney’s renowned digital print company, has truly come of age and owners Peter Musarra and Kenneth Beck are proudly steering the course in the increasingly competitive print industry.
From humble beginnings in a tiny shared office in Sydney’s Neutral Bay in 2002 that Beck would move into in 2005, the business has grown from being the ‘go to’ for fine quality digital print and bespoke marketing material into a full-service commercial printer in both short and long run print work and quality wide format.
Carbon8 was one of the first Sydney printers to ride the HP Indigo digital printing wave in the early 2000s, in fact its genesis came from a decision to buy a second hand 3050 in 2007 to improve the quality and variety of work that could be done.
“There was a new machine in town called the Indigo that could deliver a purer, closer to offset-like print,” Musarra told ProPrint from Carbon8’s newly refurbished 1500 square metre factory in Sydney’s Marrickville.
